Our learning outcomes as....Four Laws of Instructional Design

Let the inmates run the asylum – Empower participants to process the content and discuss them with each other.

Build the airplane while flying it – Design training and teaching while delivering it.

Don’t reinvent the wheel – Don’t design content, design the activity. Use templates that have been field-tested.

Be spontaneously flexible – Combine, omit, and re-sequence the steps in the instructional design process.
